    Installed a Rohloff Speedhub 14, IGH on my mid-drive Luna Z1 Ultra Mag

    How many miles in total do you have on it now, Tom? Curious for the 500/1000 mile checkins. Love the idea, and certainly Rohloff is at the top of the options out there (both quality AND price), so am 'interested' but also sporadically freaked out by the $ as well as the various 'oil...

    Upgrade a new bike?

    Lol - good point. I swear I was in their ebike filter. Oops. :D

    Upgrade a new bike?

    Nothing wrong with making changes, but I'd make sure you're going in eyes open to ensure the end result is what you really wanted, both in functionality as well as $. I've owned over 100 cars at this point, only ever buying brand new once, and had several thousand $ worth of mods ready to go and...

    Groundbreaking Trike?

    You know, I tried to see past your obvious douche-baggery and narcissistic nonsense, but enough already. I have worked on vehicles since before I was legal to drive them, engines/trans/drivetrain as well as welding and auto body, have had parts that I designed put into production and sale, have...

    Groundbreaking Trike?

    Ok, so tearing this down.... Non-interesting - claims that seemingly no one else has ever welded, fabricated, or what, even sweated? Huh. 'Ground-breaking' So I re-read the post above and looked through most of the linked pages on AddMotor. I still don't see the ground-breaking bits here...

    Groundbreaking Trike?

    What specifically makes this ‘groundbreaking’ which seems to be getting repeated by the OP? Hub motors in general aren’t hugely interesting to me, while it’s a standard motor and a standard current-enough battery. The only thing unique here seemingly being the fact it has rear suspension, which...

    Groundbreaking Trike?

    Wow. I’m sure Tom’s asking as ebikes are relatively new and can have a WIDE range of even basic ‘feel’ to them. Ghost-pedaling on cadence-sensing motors and many/most hub drives are a hugely different feeling that a mid-drive torque-sensing bike, the latter feeling much more like ‘you, but...

    Archon X1 Programming Thread (questions and experiences)

    Probably not. The way this usually works is the client app/software auths to an update server and checks if there are any updates available. If so, depending on the update scheme (auto-update vs notify user, or even do nothing unless user requests and update status check), it would apply any...

    Archon X1 Programming Thread (questions and experiences)

    Eh. Very easy for the server to be up, but if someone truncated the database, deleted services required for app operation, etc. the server is up but the service/app is unusable. There's no telling but there's more to unravel really: 1. Who actually designed the controller itself? Could very...

    Can I add 12"?

    I think 12" is too much to add even for the worst 'miracle pill' advertisements, sorry. :D

    Archon X1 Programming Thread (questions and experiences)

    Not Krasnodar. The post from 'someone' was from whomever is remaining at Innotrace, and makes sense. The biggest question is whether or not they will be paying Vedder (VESC founder/lead) to do the work for them, they will be picking it up in-house, and of course - timelines. Depending on...

    New Bicycle GPS on the market.

    Not terrible. There are plenty of 'emergency tracker' type devices out there for various scenarios, e.g. some with satellite connectivity for 'rescue' functions for 'adventurers.' Things to note: 1. Startup who hasn't shipped any product as of yet best I can tell. Doesn't mean they won't...

    Talk me out of a Biktrix Juggernaut Ultra Eagle 2

    To be fair, many Bafang-powered bikes don't use Bafang batteries. There should also be non-Bafang Smart-BMSes that can handle similar duty with BLE.

    Why Roadies Don't Smile-funny article I just read

    Same thing happens in the motorcycle world, although varies on area, e.g. 'who will wave to whom' vs ignore, and maybe it's less frequent. Mostly it's down to some Hardley riders that don't wave to non-Harleys, or occasionally sport-bike clubs that think they're 'special' and don't wave to...

    Can over heating cause permanent damage?

    I'm chuckling on the part you didn't say (e.g. who you DO have blocked), but also don't think Mods are super-active in chasing admin-type-issues, or they may or may not see it. As a possibility, you can try searching for Jedidiah posts or profile, and try blocking then go to blocked list and...

    New bike from WW

    And if they posted (they don't..) or did an appropriate level of detail product page, we'd already know.. ;)

    New bike from WW

    Was looking for the same. Also whether or not the 51# weight includes the battery or not. And of course - is it even possible to get 'Archon' controllers or is this non-Innotrace for the 'upgrade' etc. ? Bike looks fine and at least is price competitive-ish vs Luna X2 - if actually available...

    Is Vado Smoking Addictive?

    Pledge is a common ‘trick’ for motorcycle plastic and windshield/screen polishing. Works ok but couldn’t imagine going near a chain with it!

    Awesome! Also damnit; guess I could’ve saved some $$ vs my blue one/Park ;)
